Oh come on... Oakland would actually have to run a blocking scheme in general before they could get specific. Or maybe they just need to tell the blockers that the zone they are blocking is in front of the RB and QB...

Lol.

Didn't Gallery struggle in the ZBS? This won't help him any, constantly shifting schemes back and forth and constantly moving him around.

But then again, Gallery seemed to get his ass kicked anywhere you put him, in any scheme, so maybe thats a moot point.

A lot of teams, almost every team in the NFL I would say, runs zone blocking to some degree or the other, just some way more than others. Denver runs it exclusively, Houston is going to run it exclusively once they get the right personnel, and I think Green Bay runs it most of the time, but not all (someone is free to correct me).

As for Oakland, we have to wait and see how much zone they run, but with Cable controlling the line (formerly of Atlanta), I expect to see a good deal of it.

haha funny but you know somewhere Tom Walsh is reading this saying damn...in front of the QB, now that does make more sense

Unless he drafts a whole new OL, he's in trouble because I doubt his OLmen can handle man blocking.

Except four of the five starters have started in the NFL, previously, in a man-blocking scheme. They all lost weight to fit into Gibbs' scheme, in the transition from Reeves' traditional man blocking scheme. Kevin Shaffer, for example, put on twenty pounds and had a very good year in Cleveland's more traditional scheme. Though you are right, the OL will be a draft priority. Competition at LG/LT is needed.

The Texans used to run the ZBS, and when Kubiak came over he said he would install the Denver ZBS....BUT then Mike Sherman came over as an assistant head coach and now this year the OC...and they are running a hybrid of the ZBS and regular scheme...he will mix up his old plays from GB now that he has 2 RB's(Green & Gado) and possibly 1 FB(Vonta Leach) from GB
